Ajax’s 2-2 draw highlights squad gaps as Godts’ PSG move looms

Trainer Míchel Sanchez watched Ajax settle for a 2-2 draw against Shelbourne on Thursday evening, while the Dutch side still lacks a complete squad as Mika Godts sat on the bench amid rumours of a mega‑transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

The match in Dublin left Ajax without a lasting impression, with both sides sharing the points and the Dutch club failing to dominate the game.

Trainer Míchel Sanchez stressed that his selection is far from finished, noting that Godts’ benching is likely linked to the pending move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Potential PSG transfer fuels doubts

Speaking to Ajax Life, Míchel said, “If Mika leaves, we must bring replacements. He is a player who can turn the game. Zo’n voetballer hebben we nodig. Noa Lang? I don’t like talking about players who are not ours.”

He added that the second half lacked energy and creativity, with insufficient depth on both flanks and a failure to win duels, making the performance “not good enough.”

According to the Spanish tactician, the pitch was not the issue; the mentality fell short, and he expects a 100 percent effort from anyone wearing the Ajax shirt.

The contrast between a lackluster draw and the looming departure of a key youngster Ajax must act quickly in the transfer market to secure the type of player Míchel described, or risk further setbacks.
